Volunteer Hours: We host multiple tournaments through out the season. They bring good competition to our doorstep, keep families from having to travel and help keep club fees down. We need support from all our families; so to keep it fair each child’s family is required to volunteer up to 7 hours per child per year. An opt-out option is available at a price of $125 per child when you register online by June 25, 2022. Opt out payments received after July 31, 2022 will not be accepted. Fees are non refundable nor may be credited for any other year. If you fail to complete your scheduled volunteer hours, your child will not be able to train or play in games until a $200 fine is paid.
